Sunday Fragments

Odetta?
Front pages of newspapers, WaPo and NYT sings the praises of a folk singer who apparently tickled the heartstrings of activists during the Civil Rights Movement. I've never, ever heard of her before today.

Cal State
I'm thinking very seriously about how ridiculously expensive it is to live in California, one of the brokest states in the union. We're running a 30B deficit. If it weren't for the relative low cost of California higher ed, I'd be outta here. I complain a lot about how much it costs to live where I do. I know.

Saxbe Fixing
From the 'small minds think alike department', some pedants are suggesting that Hilary Clinton is constitutionally ineligible for the position of Secretary of State because while she was a Senator, the Senate voted for that position to have a raise in salary. This is a constitutional restriction, no doubt. The 'Saxbe Fix' is to merely reduce the salary to its prior level.

The nut of the complaint comes down to needle exchange. If there is one place where I think I might be heartless and cruel I think I say let the junkies bodies hit the floor. God have mercy on my black soul.
